You did achieve your focus Chef, It is a big, beautiful, realistic landscape.
I hear footsteps when I walk, the sound of waves lapping when I am by the lake.
The woods and lake, all of it, it gorgeous.
The dilapidated brick buildings and trainyard were very nice!
I do seem to be stuck crouching at the trainyard, and I do miss having feet and seeing my shadow.
But, we are talking one week development here, solo dev, kudos again!

Finished in 15-20 minutes. Nice map design. But I think you should improve the way how you tell stories. Very long parts of text is not very interesting. It is better to tell the story during the gameplay. Anyway it is good walking simulator (mostly because of used great quality assets). But it lacks gameplay.

Hi! Thanks for taking your time playing it. My main focus was to create a somewhat big, beautiful and realistic landscape. To make it just feel great to walk around and explore. Sadly that left little time left to focus on mechanics and story. With that said, I'm still really happy with the results!
